I'm trying to tone up and I have been doing alot of cardio and a little weight training for the past 2 weeks, I run a hour and a half on the treadmill twice a day with it incline to about 5.0 and the speed level between 4.5 - 6.0. and all this at normal room temperature, no fan or A/C. You know the feeling of just getting out the shower and you just dried off? Well that is just how my skin feels, a moist/damp feeling, why is it that I dont sweat, am I not burning anything?

ok, let me rephrase, for the activity that I'm doing, I feel like I should be sweating more, for a 2 hour workout, I barely sweat.

You're not sweating enough. You may be dehydrated. Try drinking more water or fluids.
Additionally, this sounds like something you're body isn't used to doing. As you progress, and get into better shape, you will start to sweat more profusely. When you're in better physical health, your pores and sweat glands will function the way they're supposed to.

how long have you been experiencing this - not sweating? are you sure you are really not sweating, what about that moist/damp feeling you were saying because if you are then it could be not as serious as i think. however, if you are positive that you really are not sweating then that could be a serious condition.
that is called anhidrosis the inability to sweat and since to sweat makes it possible for us to stay cooler. Anhidrosis makes you unable to tolerate heat. Anhidrosis can be life threatening because the body will overheat. Some common causes are: neurologic disorders such as Guillain-Barre syndrome, heatstroke, diabetes, congenital disorders including as ectodermal dysplasia, drugs and medication, ypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, autonomic neuropathy, infections of sweat glands, trauma to sweat glands, burns, excessive dehydration. In some cases, heat stroke and heat exhaustion can occur. In extreme cases, coma can result from unrecognized and untreated heat exhaustion.
If the lack of sweating is localized (only in a particular part of the body), it is usually not as dangerous. Treatment involves finding and treating the cause. For example, if the medication is causing anhidrosis, the medication should be changed. It is also important to take steps to prevent heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and dehydration. So pump your body with liters of cold water and get to a doctor asap.

You are burning calories and fat, hunny..trust me YOU ARE!
Eating salt makes you sweat.
Maybe you are a low salt eater and you don't eat very much salt and sodium. There is nothing wrong with being a low sodium/salt eater. This just means that you are NOT going to have high blood pressure.
Maybe you can call your doctor or nutritionist and ask them how many grams of sodium you should be taking in every day. Find out if you are eating enough sodium.
Good Luck and *hugs*
Keep up the wonderful work outs and being healthy! :-)

You may not be a sweater. Try running for 30 minutes outside, and see if you sweat the same way or more when you are done.
